motor mount problems Ok can you help me figure this out.
Went and bought polyurtheane motor mounts
took the clam shell out and was suprised i drilled out the the 3 rivets on one side.the other side of the shell had solid mushroom head rivets.
now there is no way to clamp the shell together anymore i will have to get bolts and put bolts through the solid rivet side .
what is going on i though this was pop the rivets and swap it out .
I am worried the bolts i will have to put in is going to hold the clam together
Any ideas would be help full .
thanks chris

Ya i know i forgot to take it with me i do not know what to do i do not want to take the other mount out and leave the moter suspended like that. I will try to take a shot of the other mount in the car tomorrow.
What you are describing is normal.
The Prothane mounts come with the bolts. I don't know what kind you bought, but I would advise buying some bolts and nylon lock washers. You need 2 bolts on each side of the clam shell... in other words 4 bolts per mount. Make sure the head is on the engine side.
